Cinnamon And Sugar Donut Muffins

These cinnamon and sugar donut muffins are the perfect sweet treat for the fall season! Fluffy and moist, dipped in melted butter and then rolled around in cinnamon and coconut sugar!

The thing I like most about this cinnamon and sugar donut muffins, is that I used coconut sugar instead of granulated white sugar. That way I don’t feel AS guilty eating them!

If you’ve never tried baking with coconut sugar, you need to! Its a great alternative for refined sugar. It also tastes amazing! It doesn’t taste a thing like coconut, but more like caramel!

These donut muffins have the same texture as old fashioned donuts! The outside has a delicious coating of sugar and cinnamon, with delicious buttery goodness.

Oh, and they are super duper easy to make!

Because we are using cake flour for this recipe, the batter won’t be runny like typical muffin batter. It will be thicker and more dense. No worries!

Dipping them in the butter, and coating them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture was probably my favorite part. Just because I got to lick the sweet buttery goodness off my fingers when I was done!

I’m sure you’ve had an apple cider donut…if not at least have heard of them. These guys reminded me alot of the texture of apple cider donuts. Perfection!

If you make these donut muffins…enjoy!
